For The City

St. John Campus

We are so excited you are considering ways to be For the City. We believe that God has called the church to be his primary method for restoration in Austin. As we serve with our non-profit partners, we demonstrate and declare the gospel to our city. We pray that through this, more and more people will see and follow Jesus.

We have highlighted a few ways to get involved that we think are a great fit for our campus. Look around, use our search tool to find the opportunity that is right for you, and then click "connect." Then you will be connected to one of our non-profit partners and be well on your way to impacting the lost and the broken in our city.

RBI Austin

RBI Austin uses baseball, softball, and mentoring to engage and develop inner-city youth, empowering them to lead the transformation of their communities. Sound/atmosphere volunteers are responsible for bringing the gamely environment! They will assist with queuing walk-up music and announcing players and teams. These volunteers are asked to serve at least 5 games during the summer.

Petra Preschool

Petra seeks to show God’s love by providing education, care and support to a diverse population in Austin including foster children, economically disadvantaged children, and their families. Volunteers are needed to complete tasks outside of the classroom so teachers are cared for and supported. This may involve filing, preparing snacks and lunches for the kids, restocking the resource room, or assisting teachers as they prepare for their classes.
